offered a position at Harvard in 1947.
She also was the first woman to teach
law at the University of Chicago, where
she joined the staff in 1951. She was the
first female president of the Association
of American Law Schools; in 1972, she
was only the second woman appointed
to the board of trustees at the Rand
Corp., a leading think tank.
Today, the University of Miami hous-
es an extensive collection of her papers.

#13) Rebecca Doro Marks Sieff (1890-
1966) was part of a prominent family in
Great Britain; her brother was Simon
Marks, a co-founder of the famed
British department store, Marks and
Spencer.
Sieff, whom everyone called Becky,
was a born organizer, and she put her
talents to good use. She helped establish,
and served as the first president of, the
Federation of Women Zionists of Great
Britain. In 1920, she also helped estab-
lish WIZO, the Women's International
Zionist Organization. As Hitler took
control of Europe, Sieff focused her
energy on helping Jewish refugees,
including evacuating more than 1,000
Jewish children to England.
After the war, Sieff moved to Israel,
where she created the Daniel Sieff
Research Institute (later the Weizmann
Institute of Science) in memory of her
son, who died as a young boy. In 1960,
she was honored with the Order of the
British Empire for her humanitarian
work.

#14) Sophie Irene Loeb (1876-1929)
was a leadinab organizer of the Child
Welfare Committee of New York,
serving as the organization's president,
then going on to become first presi-
dent of the Child Welfare Committee
of America.
She was the author of Everyman's
Child, published in 1920, which fea-
tures a bill of rights for children every-
where.
Loeb, also an outspoken Zionist, was
honored in 1936 with a statue dedicated
in her memory (showing Alice in
Wonderland, it is located in Central
Park in Manhattan) and a playground,
which bears her name, in New York's
Lower East Side.
Former Sen. W.H. Hodges of Florida
described Loeb as "America's greatest
mother."

#15) Louise Manuel Graefemus (1785-
1852) was the first woman to win the
Iron Cross. It's a strange tale.
Graefemus apparently managed to dis-
guise herself as a man, then enlisted in
the Prussian Army. Her reasons were

personal rather than patriotic: her hus-
band, himself an army man, was miss-
ing. Graefemus was determined to find
him. During her search, Graefemus was
promoted to sergeant major, then
received the Iron Cross after being
wounded in combat.

#16) Judith Merril (1923 1997) was a
writer and editor of science fiction. Born
Juliet Grossman in New York, she also
worked under the pseudonyms Ernest
Hamilton, Rose Sharon, Eric Thorstein
and Cyril Judd.
She started her career as part of the
group called the Futurians, where one
colleague was Isaac Asimov. Her books
include Daughters of the Earth (1968)
and Survival Ship and Other Stories
(1973).

#17) Francis Wisebart-Jacobs (1843-
1892) was founder of the National
Jewish Hospital for Immunology and
Respiratory Medicine. She also was
active in numerous social and humani-
tarian causes, including those that joined
to form the United Way.

#18) Ellen Bischoffsheim (1857-1933)
was the first female senator in the
Republic of Ireland.

#19) Rose Schneiderman was "a tiny
red-haired bundle of social dynamite
[who] did more to upgrade the dignity
and living standards of working women
than any other American." So said the
New York Times in her obituary in 1972.
Born in Poland, Schneiderman
became a union organizer, beginning
with the United Cloth, Hat, Cap and
Millinery Workers Union. She also
served as president of the Women's Trade
Union League from 1926 until 1949,
when she retired.
Schneiderman said she felt drawn to
her work after serving for three years as a
cap maker: "[Then] it began to dawn on
me that we girls needed an organiza-
tion."

#20) Rachel Beer (1858-1927) was
born in Bombay, then moved with her
family to England where she married
F.A. Beer, owner of the London
Observer. Initially, Beer's professional life
began as a nurse; after marrying Beer,
however, she began contributing to the
newspaper.
By 1893, she managed to buy the
London Sunday Times, where she served
as editor until her death.

#21) Regina Jonas (1902-1 944) is the
first woman known to have been
ordained a rabbi.
